Filipenses 1:24

The very essence of our existence is that we were created for God. That is why we feel most accomplished, happy, and fulfilled when we are in the center of His will, doing what He created us for.

We talk a lot about salvation. But what does that mean? This reading plan will give you a deeper understanding of God’s redemptive work in your life.

And you will be saved because God has secured your eternal future.
